Graciosa is a reflection of our love for the rainforest and the historic road that crosses it on its way from the mountains to the ocean. This expression is aged for 2 years in repurposed oak and finished for 18 months in castanheira do Pare1 (Brazil nut) barrels, lending it a vibrantly aromatic yet creamy disposition: starting with pecan and orchids on the nose, the palate morphs into cherry custard and finishes with pleasant notes of soft clove and anise.Fermentation: 18 hours with wild yeast Distillation: copper pot still Barrels: repurposed oak + Brazil nut woodNose: pecan and orchids Palate: cherry custard Finish: clove and aniseSuggested cocktail: DaiquiriTHE GRACIOUS DAIQUIRI2 oz Novo Fogo Graciosa Cachae7a 1 oz lime juice0.5 oz banana liqueur0.5 oz simple syrupShake all ingredients with ice.

Producer Description
Cachae7a is Brazil's national distilled spirit made from freshly-pressed sugarcane juice. Cachae7a is 500 years old; it is an older spirit and larger category than rum. Since it's distilled from a fresh plant, terroir matters. The terroir of the coastal Atlantic Rainforest makes Novo Fogo cachae7a unique. Our home is a little town called Morretes (Mo-HEH-tes), in the middle of the largest patch of protected jungle in southern Brazil. The air is clean and fragrant with tropical fruits, flowers, and the salty sea breeze. Our healthy, estate-grown sugarcane reflects this pure rainforest environment, which is why we process the cane minimally to preserve its flavor. When you open a bottle of Novo Fogo, you can smell and taste the natural wonders of southern Brazil.USDA 100% ORGANIC CERTIFIED | ZERO-WASTE | CARBON NEUTRAL | REFORESTATION PROJECT HOST
